Happy New Year Everyone!
Since this is the last show of the year, I thought I would share with you my personal favorites of 2007. All have been released this year and no, it’s not all Chae Yeon. I’m actually surprised at my list of top 10, (in no particular order) for this year.
You can also listen to me mull about trying to find a good ramen place in downtown Toronto, my favorite film and album of this year as well as trying to figure out what my New Year’s resolution is going to be.  I’d also like to know what your favorite songs released in 2007 were and also your New Year’s resolution - I’m still trying to figure mine out.

Again! Happy New Year to Everyone and see you all in 2008! (more…)
